[Q] need help - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am a newbie regarding android roms and all that .. and I need help ..
As I see dual booting in galaxy S2 .. I was wondering if I can .. then after some study on this site .. I get to know how to root .. now my phone is rooted but dont have CWM installed .. I tried to flash CWM .. it starts CWM successfully .. but after rebooting it again it start samsung recovery .. so my question here is .. Can I just flash CWM nd then Siyah Kernel same time without rebooting between each flash .. and One thing is that can I use my Samsung original Rom (4.1.2) as primary Rom and other rom (Resurrection Remix) as secondary ???
-*-*-*-*
I have tried my self .. when flashing Siyah Kernel .. it says some thing like asserts ... or like that .. and failed to flash kernel ..
now what am I suppose to do for flashing Siyah kernel or any better kernel for dual booting ... ??
Samsung Galaxy S2 GT I9100
4.1.2

1) If you really want help, you need to use a better title than 'Need help. Plenty of people will not even bother to read your thread in the first place due to that alone (you're lucky I'm bored right now).
2) The reason CWM isn't persisting after you reboot is because recovery is baked into the kernel on the SGS2 & isn't a separate partition like other phones. So if you want permanent CWM, you need to flash a custom kernel.
3) If you flash Siyah on it's own, you will end up with a rooted phone + CWM & you can go from there. I suspect the reason you got those errors are you used the wrong build for the particular Android version you are running. If you want to make it easy for yourself, I suggest you read the first page of the Siyah thread carefully then download the Odin version you need for the Android version you're running (I forget which is which; haven't run Siyah for >12 mths) & flash that.
Yes, you can dual boot with Siyah. There are detailed instructions in the Siyah threads, and there have also been a multitude of dual boot how-to's written (search in both cases).

thanx bro for ur reply .. nd yeah U are ryt for title thing .. I realized the same thing after posting the issue .. yeah I have read the Kernel thread nd I have flashed with the ryt version ( latest) ""Siyah-s2-v6.0b5-CWM"" I think this is the latest version of Siyah I could get from the Siyah Kernel site for S2 ..
If I consider to flash Dorimanx .. I think this is also dual boot supported .. what u guys reccomend .. ???

V6.0b5 is the latest siyah kernel he made. For dualbooting I would recommend dorimanx 8.xx as you will be able to run a modded stock Sammy rom and a aokp/cm rom at the same time. ? if you use 9.xx dorimanx kernel you will only be able to run aokp/cm roms.
8.32 dorimanx is rock stable running both custom and modded stock roms imo.

Yes you can pick any stock Rom but it needs to be running a modded updater script for the preload. Then custom or another modded stock rom in 2nd rom. Look up @Troubadour666 he's made many dualboot threads and is a nice guy. Speak to him on all things dualboot. Can't go wrong with his advice :thumbup:
